Crystal xpath library or implementation

Question

Is there any way to use xpath when parsing an HTML file ?

I am looking for a Ruby Nokogiri equivalent but Crystagiri does not implement it ( yet ? ). Also tried myhtml and modest but to no avail.

You don't need to use external libraries for this! Crystal has an XML module built in, which has xpath support.

Here's a basic example:

nodes = XML.parse_html(html_content)
nodes.xpath_nodes(query).each do |node|
    # do something
end

where html_content is your HTML as a string, and query is your xpath query.
